With school out and more teens hitting the road throughout the day, it might be helpful to know just how dangerous Nevada roads are.

Good news: Despite a common assumption that Nevada is an unfit environment for any drivers, a recent Wallet Hub study shows that the Silver State is actually safest state in the nation for beginning motorists.

“We compared the driving conditions for teens in the 50 U.S. states based on 16 key metrics,” the report says. “The data is broken down into categories that examine the safety conditions, economic environment and driving laws of each state.”
